What It Really Takes to Be a Pro Tennis Player. ft. Sumit Nagal

View descriptionShare

India’s No.1 singles tennis player Sumit Nagal joins Cyrus Says for a rare, honest conversation about what it actually takes to survive professional tennis.From playing street games in Delhi to training abroad as a teenager, almost quitting the sport at 12 because it was too expensive, winning Junior Wimbledon doubles, breaking into the ATP Top 100, and taking a set off Roger Federer — Sumit walks through every high and low of his journey.He also speaks candidly about the financial reality of tennis, injuries, life on tour, Davis Cup pressure, why most Indian players have to leave the country to succeed, and what needs to change for Indian tennis to grow.With Cyrus adding humour and curiosity, this episode pulls back the curtain on a sport that looks glamorous — but is anything but.⚠️ Language & humour warning.
